I went to the Houston,TX RV show and saw the new Columbus line from Palamino. I haven't been able to find much info. on it the website doesn't reveal much or list the weights or dimensions. I was wondering does anyone know more about this line? If you own one, what do you think about it? The wife and I really like this one.

Thanks in advance.

Funny you should ask. I had the same questions and found out the following on their 320RS:
Hitch weight: 2080#
Dry weight: 10,600#
GVWR: 14,300#
Exterior width: 100" (8'4")
Length: 37'2"
Height: 12' 10"
Sidewalls: R 9
Ceiling & Roof: R 28
It has a heated underbelly with astro foil wrap, two layers of fiberglass and heat pads under all tanks.
Aluminum welded frame vacuum bonded.
We have one on order, should be here in 4 weeks or so.
It will have a King bed, two AC's, fireplace, Roto Flex hitch pin, and some other stuff.

We saw this unit at the RV Show last weekend.

Of all the Fifth-Wheels we saw, this was the only one that I would possibly trade my Komfort for.

Not talking quality of manufacturing, but strictly appearance and layout.
